[Mistaken4193]

I’m calling it right now. They will change their name and identitties within 5 years. What a joke they are.

 

[broncosmitty]

Nope.

My favorite part of when big news drops in sports is the hot takes that come after. The exaggerations, the predictions of calamity or dominance, the unshaking certainty that massive things will happen when in reality these things fade over time.

I mean, have the Chicago Black (White) Sox changed their branding yet?

Can you shed a little more insight as to what you mean when you say identity? They are not going to change their name

Hey remember how we always talked about buying a pro sports franchise together? According to OP we got ourselves a blue light special coming up.


@ChiSoxFan can you dip into one of my off shore IRA's?

They cheated, but is this really any worse than any other sign stealing incidents? The way they've handled the criticism is probably worse, though.

I remember when we first went into Iraq after 9/11 some goofy sports talk radio guy saying that people would stop using words like "bomb", "blitz", "warrior" because it would hit too close to home. If that ever did happen it only lasted like a week.

Really wish one of them would say the only thing they're sorry for is having Mike Fiers as a teammate.



Cuz we all know that's the truth.

The Asterisks has a good ring to it.

We didn't get all of Steve Millers greatest hits on the radio for years though.



You know got to go through hell, before you, get to heaven.

Kinda sad when kid teams are dropping the name, but I caan't see the big league team doing it.

I do think this was worse, because it was systematic, premeditated, involved using advanced technology, and had the entire team management involved. It's not some dude on second noticing what the catcher is doing.

If true about the devices this is taking it to a whole different level. The entire team knew about it...this is why I don't get why the players get off scot-free, doesn't make any sense. Just bc they didn't supposedly make the devices or come up with the system, they shouldn't be punished? Ridiculous.
